A Portrait (2004)




Oil on canvas, 16" x 20"

Portrait from a photograph posed especially for the
painting. The base coat is raw sienna acrylic and the figure
was built up from a sketch in burnt sienna and ultramarine
blue, with colour and white highlights added in the later
stages.

The painting is photographed on a slight angle because I
found that the flash reflected off of those areas where I used
Liquin to glaze colour on.
